Lauren Branning (played by Jacqueline Jossa) is secretly struggling with new baby son Jimmy on EastEnders (7:30pm - see our TV Guide for listings).

It was touch and go on the day of Jimmy's birth earlier this month, when the baby stopped breathing and had to be resuscitated in hospital.

Matters aren't helped having Lauren's hated future mum-in-law, Cindy Beale (Michelle Collins), back on Albert Square and wanting to be involved with the baby.

Lauren worries that her past painkiller addiction may have been harmful for Jimmy's health.

So she confides in fellow former addict, Linda Carter (Kellie Bright), and reveals her fear that something isn't right with Jimmy...
